The Anemone Crab (Neopetrolisthes sp.), also known as the Porcelain Anemone Crab, is a small, delicate marine crab often found in symbiosis with sea anemones. This species features a flattened body and large, fan-like claws, usually white or cream with red or brown spots. They use their fan-like appendages to filter feed on plankton while residing safely within the tentacles of host anemones.
In marine tanks, the Anemone Crab is appreciated for its symbiotic relationship with anemones and peaceful nature.
